Useless wiper blades
« on: March 27, 2009, 05:36:50 PM »
Just had to replace both me wiper blades again, after a mere 18 months. Both were torn.

Are they using crap materials now, as I'm sure blades used to last longer than this. confused:

In all probability, yes. Where does the packaging say they were made? China?
